Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Start with the core elements of written music, then continue into the markings that add expression and detail to a score. How to Read Music organizes the subject from pitch, rhythm, and meter through dynamics, timbre, and special symbols. The closing piano excerpts give readers a chance to put that material into practice with music by Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven. It is a straightforward softcover reference for building notation knowledge in stages.
Strong match
Who this is for
